Federal stimulus checks acted as a lifeline for millions of Americans as the pandemic ruined jobs and savings accounts.
While they were intended to help Americans get back on their feet, they may have done more harm than good.

Other issues like supply and demand as well as conflict in Ukraine had a hand in inflation as well.
